TLDR
This Review provides an overview of several important networks that sense and manage nutrients and discusses how they integrate with immune and inflammatory pathways to influence the physiological and pathological metabolic states in the body.
Abstract
The proper functioning of the pathways that are involved in the sensing and management of nutrients is central to metabolic homeostasis and is therefore among the most fundamental requirements for survival. Metabolic systems are integrated with pathogen-sensing and immune responses, and these pathways are evolutionarily conserved. This close functional and molecular integration of the immune and metabolic systems is emerging as a crucial homeostatic mechanism, the dysfunction of which underlies many chronic metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. In this Review we provide an overview of several important networks that sense and manage nutrients and discuss how they integrate with immune and inflammatory pathways to influence the physiological and pathological metabolic states in the body.

A Concise Review on the Role of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in the Development of Autoimmunity in Vitiligo Pathogenesis

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced UPR in the development of systemic and tissue level autoimmunity in vitiligo pathogenesis and its therapeutics is discussed.

Meat Protein in High-Fat Diet Induces Adipogensis and Dyslipidemia by Altering Gut Microbiota and Endocannabinoid Dysregulation in the Adipose Tissue of Mice.

TL;DR: Meat proteins in a high fat diet significantly decreased the relative abundances of Akkermansia and Bifidobacteria but enhanced lipopolysaccharides level in the serum, which promoted the adipogenesis process by causing dysregulation in the endocannabinoid receptors.

Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1 (SCD1) is a key factor mediating diabetes in MyD88-deficient mice

TL;DR: This finding showed the novel linkage between MyD88 and SCD1 in the development of diabetes mellitus and stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1 was dramatically increased in HFD-fed MyD 88-deficient mice liver.

Epigallocatechin Gallate Suppresses Inflammatory Responses by Inhibiting Toll-like Receptor 4 Signaling and Alleviates Insulin Resistance in the Livers of High-fat-diet Rats.

TL;DR: The data indicate that EGCG improves NAFLD from two ways: inhibition of inflammation and improvement of insulin resistance in liver tissues in rats induced by a high-fat diet and its underlying mechanism.

An obesity-associated gut microbiome with increased capacity for energy harvest

TL;DR: It is demonstrated through metagenomic and biochemical analyses that changes in the relative abundance of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes affect the metabolic potential of the mouse gut microbiota and indicates that the obese microbiome has an increased capacity to harvest energy from the diet.

Inflammation and metabolic disorders

TL;DR: Dysfunction of the immune response and metabolic regulation interface can be viewed as a central homeostatic mechanism, dysfunction of which can lead to a cluster of chronic metabolic disorders, particularly obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Adipose expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha: direct role in obesity-linked insulin resistance

TL;DR: A role for TNF-alpha in obesity and particularly in the insulin resistance and diabetes that often accompany obesity is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic inflammation in fat plays a crucial role in the development of obesity-related insulin resistance.

TL;DR: It is proposed that obesity-related insulin resistance is, at least in part, a chronic inflammatory disease initiated in adipose tissue, and that macrophage-related inflammatory activities may contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity-induced insulin resistance.

Signal integration in the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response

TL;DR: Together, at least three mechanistically distinct arms of the UPR regulate the expression of numerous genes that function within the secretory pathway but also affect broad aspects of cell fate and the metabolism of proteins, amino acids and lipids.
